Our People

Before making our way to Seattle, we grew up in both Saigon and Edmonton, but our staff comes from all over the world. We are proud to employ many different kinds of people from all walks of life—not to mention several different continents. In addition to many who were born stateside, our extended family hails from Vietnam, Canada, Cambodia, Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Laos, South Korea, Japan, Guam, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and The Philipines.
